James Temp Hall was built in 1989 as part of Phase III of UW-Green
Bay Housing. It is part of the community of Long, Schaefer, and
Temp.
About the man: Mr. James A. Temp grew up in La Crosse, Wisconsin, and parlayed a considerable amount of athletic ability
into a star career at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In 1957, he moved to Green Bay to embark on a four-season
career as a Green Bay Packer. In 1973, Mr. Temp accepted a new challenge that has had repercussions for the University
of Wisconsin-Green Bay ever since. The "challenge" was a new group, the Founders Association; its purpose was development
of a philanthropic base for UWGB. James Temp served as Association president in 1980 and 1981. And in 1984, he joined
Donald J. Long, Sr., to take on yet another challenge on behalf of UWGB--chairmanship of the University's first capital
campaign, an effort that raised more than $2.5 million. In addition to his professional work as president of Alexander
and Alexander of Wisconsin, Jim Temp fills many community leadership roles with business organizations, civic groups and
health agencies. He continues to work for UW-Green Bay as a director of the Founders Association and University Village
Housing Inc., and on the fund raising committee for the center for the performing arts.
